FEMININITY...

There was a time in my life

When I ran from my femininity

After being molested as a child

Led to believe that it represented weakness

That it made me vulnerable, a victim

Years pass and wisdom grows

Healing with and through the embrace of

No longer ashamed

My femininity found in

Baggy jeans and pinned back curls

Mini skirts and high heels

Wild hair and red lipstick

Sweatpants and dresses

A smile, a stroll, a hug or a kiss

Power in the essence of who I am

My feminine energy is Spiritual

Intuition and Ambition

Pleasurable and Satisfying

Tender and Compassionate

Strength and Capability

Beautiful and Mysterious

Authentic and Unapologetic

Life giving and IndestructibleAt this time in my life

I embrace all of who I am

Residing in my feminine energy

The more that we embrace the power of all

Of all of who we are

The more powerful we become
